If you need a budget phone, design is ok and the lack of features is not an issue, then tconsider

The phone has a somewhat odd clamshell construction. The phone may be opened for an angle of almost 180 degrees and unfolded the phone looks like a beach chair. Not my kind of design, but maybe this makes the phone stand out from the crowd. The phones internal surface is made of rubber or soft plastic. According to Nokia the 2652 "builds on the success of the award-winning Nokia 2650".

BatteryAccording to Nokia the battery works for 2500 hours in standby mode and up to 3,5 hours the talk mode. Phone users report less than 150 hours of standby time and 40 - 50 minutes of talk time. The thruth should be something in between. Full charging takes 2 hours.

KeypadThe keypad is standrard and has a white backlighting. Flashing LED light alerts on the outside of the phone to announce incoming calls and messages. Useful - maybe, cool - for teenagers, yes! The only flaw is that the keypad gets really dirty over a period of time.

ScreenThe 128 x 128-pixel, 4096 color TFT display is acceptable for a low-end model. An external display would be nice and can be found on many other low-end phones.

Applications

Being an low-end phone, the 2650 comes with only basic Series 40 phone features such as calendar, calculator, alarm clock, countdown timer and stopwatch. The 2650 had 3 games.

A good buy

The flip top design of this phone is excellent it makes it small and compact and easy to carry. The fact that it is a flip top means that there is no need for a keypad locking system, so numbers can not be dialled by accident. The silver colour and flip top design make this phone very attractive. Being a Nokia, the phone has very user friendly controls and has basic features with additional features such as 'gallery'. This phone is very attractive, easy to use and relatively cheap.
